I've been staring at the sky
And basking in the breeze
As it makes its lazy way
Across the fields and through the trees
And none of it has anything at all to do with me
But the way it makes me feel
Is real
It was here before I got here
It'll be here when I'm gone
When each of us has turned to dust
The wind will carry on
And I'll never own the sunset
And I'll never touch the dawn
But the way it makes me feel
Is real
The way it makes me feel is real
And I just want to thank you
For each moment in the sunlight
And I just want to thank you
For each moment in the rain
And I just want to thank you
When you help me through the long night
How the pleasure seems to balance out the pain
Through each and every moment of the day
Of the day
'Cause I know that it ain't easy
And I know that it won't last
And I know there is no future
And I know there is no past
And I know it's gonna end someday
And baby, that's just the deal
But the way it makes me feel
Is real
The way it makes me feel is real
And I just want to thank you
For each moment in the sunlight
And I just want to thank you
For each moment in the rain
And I just want to thank you
When you help me through the long night
How the pleasure seems to balance out the pain
Through each and every moment of the day
Of the day
I've been staring at the sky
And basking in the breeze
As it makes its lazy way
Across the fields and through the trees
And none of it has anything at all to do with me
But the way it makes me feel
Is real
